Ordinary chondrite, unequilibrated (H3.8;S1;W0)
Fall, 28 January 1976; 45 kg, ~300 fragments

A bright fireball — much brighter than a full moon — ended with an even brighter flash, two extremely loud detonations, and a shower of crusted meteoritic stones spread over an 18 km long ellipse. The largest of the many fragments was a 12 kg stone. The Dhajala meteorite is an agglomeration of chondrules (~30 vol%) and clasts set in a fine-grained matrix. Chondrules (GO, GOP, POP), clasts, and matrix are rich in olivine, orthopyroxene, sparse clinopyroxene, and partially devitrified glass. In addition to the dominant, mostly equilibrated olivine (Fa~79) and, largely unequilibrated orthopyroxene (Fs2-32), a number of other silicates are found in various quantities (e.g., plagioclase, silica, forsterite). Opaques such as Fe-Ni metal [~20%], troilite, chromite are likewise present, particularly in the interstices of the matrix. A few CAIs and interstellar grains have also been reported.

Dhajala is one of the 41 ordinary chondrite falls listed with the Meteoritical Bulletin Database (as of 2015). Devgaon and Dhajala, both recovered in Indian, are the only witnessed H3.8 ordinary chondrite falls. The Dhajala main mass (33 kg) has been housed with the Geological Survey of India in Calcutta.
